# ElementHandle.waitForSelector() method
|
|
|
|
Wait for an element matching the given selector to appear in the current element.
|
|
|
|
Unlike [Frame.waitForSelector()](./puppeteer.frame.waitforselector.md), this method does not work across navigations or if the element is detached from DOM.
|
|
|
|
#### Signature:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
class ElementHandle {
|
|
waitForSelector<Selector extends string>(
|
|
selector: Selector,
|
|
options?: WaitForSelectorOptions
|
|
): Promise<ElementHandle<NodeFor<Selector>> | null>;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

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