## Page.waitForSelector() method
Wait for the `selector` to appear in page. If at the moment of calling the method the `selector` already exists, the method will return immediately. If the `selector` doesn't appear after the `timeout` milliseconds of waiting, the function will throw.
This method works across navigations:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
let currentURL;
page
.waitForSelector('img')
.then(() => console.log('First URL with image: ' + currentURL));
for (currentURL of [
'https://example.com',
'https://google.com',
'https://bbc.com',
]) {
await page.goto(currentURL);
}
await browser.close();
})();
```
Signature:
```typescript
waitForSelector(selector: string, options?: {
visible?: boolean;
hidden?: boolean;
timeout?: number;
}): Promise;
```

Promise<[ElementHandle](./puppeteer.elementhandle.md) \| null>

## Remarks
The optional Parameter in Arguments `options` are :
- `Visible`: A boolean wait for element to be present in DOM and to be visible, i.e. to not have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
- `hidden`: ait for element to not be found in the DOM or to be hidden, i.e. have `display: none` or `visibility: hidden` CSS properties. Defaults to `false`.
- `timeout`: maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `30000` (30 seconds). Pass `0` to disable timeout. The default value can be changed by using the [Page.setDefaultTimeout()](./puppeteer.page.setdefaulttimeout.md) method.
