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.
