## JSHandle.evaluateHandle() method
This method passes this handle as the first argument to `pageFunction`.
Signature:
```typescript
evaluateHandle(pageFunction: EvaluateHandleFn, ...args: SerializableOrJSHandle[]): Promise;
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| pageFunction | [EvaluateHandleFn](./puppeteer.evaluatehandlefn.md) | |
| args | [SerializableOrJSHandle](./puppeteer.serializableorjshandle.md)\[\] | |
Returns:
Promise<HandleType>
## Remarks
The only difference between `jsHandle.evaluate` and `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` is that `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns an in-page object (JSHandle).
If the function passed to `jsHandle.evaluateHandle` returns a Promise, then `evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle` waits for the promise to resolve and returns its value.
See [Page.evaluateHandle()](./puppeteer.page.evaluatehandle.md) for more details.
