Overview

  • extends: JSHandle

ElementHandle represents an in-page DOM element. ElementHandles can be created with the [‘method: Page.$`] method.

“‘js const { chromium } = require(’playwright’); // Or ‘firefox’ or ‘webkit’.

(async () => 

const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
const hrefElement = await page.$('a');
await hrefElement.click();
// ...

)(); “‘

“‘python async import asyncio from playwright.async_api import async_playwright

async def run(playwright):

chromium = playwright.chromium
browser = await chromium.launch()
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.goto("https://example.com")
href_element = await page.query_selector("a")
await href_element.click()
# ...

async def main():

async with async_playwright() as playwright:
    await run(playwright)

asyncio.run(main()) “‘

“‘python sync from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

def run(playwright):

chromium = playwright.chromium
browser = chromium.launch()
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto("https://example.com")
href_element = page.query_selector("a")
href_element.click()
# ...

with sync_playwright() as playwright:

run(playwright)

“‘

ElementHandle prevents DOM element from garbage collection unless the handle is disposed with [‘method: JSHandle.dispose`]. ElementHandles are auto-disposed when their origin frame gets navigated.

ElementHandle instances can be used as an argument in [‘method: Page.$eval`] and [`method: Page.evaluate`] methods.

Instance Method Details

#bounding_box ⇒ Object

This method returns the bounding box of the element, or null if the element is not visible. The bounding box is calculated relative to the main frame viewport - which is usually the same as the browser window.

Scrolling affects the returned bonding box, similarly to [Element.getBoundingClientRect](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/getBoundingClientRect). That means x and/or y may be negative.

Elements from child frames return the bounding box relative to the main frame, unlike the [Element.getBoundingClientRect](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/getBoundingClientRect).

Assuming the page is static, it is safe to use bounding box coordinates to perform input. For example, the following snippet should click the center of the element.

“‘js const box = await elementHandle.boundingBox(); await page.mouse.click(box.x + box.width / 2, box.y + box.height / 2); “`

“‘python async box = await element_handle.bounding_box() await page.mouse.click(box + box / 2, box + box / 2) “`

“‘python sync box = element_handle.bounding_box() page.mouse.click(box + box / 2, box + box / 2) “`

#check(force: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method checks the element by performing the following steps:

  1. Ensure that element is a checkbox or a radio input. If not, this method rejects. If the element is already checked, this method returns immediately.

  2. Wait for [actionability](./actionability.md) checks on the element, unless force option is set.

  3. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  4. Use [‘property: Page.mouse`] to click in the center of the element.

  5. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set.

  6. Ensure that the element is now checked. If not, this method rejects.

If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method rejects.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified timeout, this method rejects with a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

#click(button: nil, clickCount: nil, delay: nil, force: nil, modifiers: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method clicks the element by performing the following steps:

  1. Wait for [actionability](./actionability.md) checks on the element, unless force option is set.

  2. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  3. Use [‘property: Page.mouse`] to click in the center of the element, or the specified position.

  4. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set.

If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method rejects.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified timeout, this method rejects with a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

#dblclick(button: nil, delay: nil, force: nil, modifiers: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method double clicks the element by performing the following steps:

  1. Wait for [actionability](./actionability.md) checks on the element, unless force option is set.

  2. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  3. Use [‘property: Page.mouse`] to double click in the center of the element, or the specified position.

  4. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set. Note that if the first click of the ‘dblclick()` triggers a navigation event, this method will reject.

If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method rejects.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified timeout, this method rejects with a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

> NOTE: ‘elementHandle.dblclick()` dispatches two click events and a single dblclick event.

end

#dispatch_event(type, eventInit: nil) ⇒ Object

The snippet below dispatches the click event on the element. Regardless of the visibility state of the elment, click is dispatched. This is equivalend to calling [element.click()](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/click).

“‘js await elementHandle.dispatchEvent(’click’); “‘

“‘python async await element_handle.dispatch_event(“click”) “`

“‘python sync element_handle.dispatch_event(“click”) “`

Under the hood, it creates an instance of an event based on the given type, initializes it with eventInit properties and dispatches it on the element. Events are composed, cancelable and bubble by default.

Since eventInit is event-specific, please refer to the events documentation for the lists of initial properties:

You can also specify JSHandle as the property value if you want live objects to be passed into the event:

“‘js // Note you can only create DataTransfer in Chromium and Firefox const dataTransfer = await page.evaluateHandle(() => new DataTransfer()); await elementHandle.dispatchEvent(’dragstart’, { dataTransfer }); “‘

“‘python async # note you can only create data_transfer in chromium and firefox data_transfer = await page.evaluate_handle(“new DataTransfer()”) await element_handle.dispatch_event(“#source”, “dragstart”, data_transfer) “`

“‘python sync # note you can only create data_transfer in chromium and firefox data_transfer = page.evaluate_handle(“new DataTransfer()”) element_handle.dispatch_event(“#source”, “dragstart”, data_transfer) “`

#eval_on_selector(selector, pageFunction, arg: nil) ⇒ Object

Returns the return value of pageFunction

The method finds an element matching the specified selector in the ‘ElementHandle`s subtree and passes it as a first argument to pageFunction. See [Working with selectors](./selectors.md#working-with-selectors) for more details. If no elements match the selector, the method throws an error.

If pageFunction returns a [Promise], then ‘frame.$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:

“‘js const tweetHandle = await page.$(’.tweet’); expect(await tweetHandle.$eval(‘.like’, node => node.innerText)).toBe(‘100’); expect(await tweetHandle.$eval(‘.retweets’, node => node.innerText)).toBe(‘10’); “‘

“‘python async tweet_handle = await page.query_selector(“.tweet”) assert await tweet_handle.eval_on_selector(“.like”, “node => node.innerText”) == “100” assert await tweet_handle.eval_on_selector(“.retweets”, “node => node.innerText”) = “10” “`

“‘python sync tweet_handle = page.query_selector(“.tweet”) assert tweet_handle.eval_on_selector(“.like”, “node => node.innerText”) == “100” assert tweet_handle.eval_on_selector(“.retweets”, “node => node.innerText”) = “10” “`

end

#eval_on_selector_all(selector, pageFunction, arg: nil) ⇒ Object

Returns the return value of pageFunction

The method finds all elements matching the specified selector in the ElementHandle‘s subtree and passes an array of matched elements as a first argument to pageFunction. See [Working with selectors](./selectors.md#working-with-selectors) for more details.

If pageFunction returns a [Promise], then ‘frame.$$eval` would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value.

Examples:

“‘html <div class=“feed”>

<div class="tweet">Hello!</div>
<div class="tweet">Hi!</div>

</div> “‘

“‘js const feedHandle = await page.$(’.feed’); expect(await feedHandle.$$eval(‘.tweet’, nodes => nodes.map(n => n.innerText))).toEqual([‘Hello!’, ‘Hi!’]); “‘

“‘python async # FIXME feed_handle = await page.query_selector(“.feed”) assert await feed_handle.eval_on_selector_all(“.tweet”, “nodes => nodes.map(n => n.innerText)”) == [“hello!”, “hi!”] “`

“‘python sync feed_handle = page.query_selector(“.feed”) assert feed_handle.eval_on_selector_all(“.tweet”, “nodes => nodes.map(n => n.innerText)”) == [“hello!”, “hi!”] “`

#fill(value, noWaitAfter: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method waits for [actionability](./actionability.md) checks, focuses the element, fills it and triggers an input event after filling. If the element is not an ‘<input>`, `<textarea>` or [contenteditable] element, this method throws an error. Note that you can pass an empty string to clear the input field.

#hover(force: nil, modifiers: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method hovers over the element by performing the following steps:

  1. Wait for [actionability](./actionability.md) checks on the element, unless force option is set.

  2. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  3. Use [‘property: Page.mouse`] to hover over the center of the element, or the specified position.

  4. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set.

If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method rejects.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified timeout, this method rejects with a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

#press(key, delay: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Focuses the element, and then uses [‘method: Keyboard.down`] and [`method: Keyboard.up`].

key can specify the intended [keyboardEvent.key](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key) value or a single character to generate the text for. A superset of the key values can be found [here](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key/Key_Values). Examples of the keys are:

F1 - F12, Digit0- Digit9, KeyA- KeyZ, Backquote, Minus, Equal, Backslash, Backspace, Tab, Delete, Escape, ArrowDown, End, Enter, Home, Insert, PageDown, PageUp, ArrowRight, ArrowUp, etc.

Following modification shortcuts are also supported: Shift, Control, Alt, Meta, ShiftLeft.

Holding down Shift will type the text that corresponds to the key in the upper case.

If key is a single character, it is case-sensitive, so the values a and A will generate different respective texts.

Shortcuts such as ‘key: “Control+o”` or `key: “Control+Shift+T”` are supported as well. When speficied with the modifier, modifier is pressed and being held while the subsequent key is being pressed.

#tap_point(force: nil, modifiers: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, position: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method taps the element by performing the following steps:

  1. Wait for [actionability](./actionability.md) checks on the element, unless force option is set.

  2. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  3. Use [‘property: Page.touchscreen`] to tap the center of the element, or the specified position.

  4. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set.

If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method rejects.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified timeout, this method rejects with a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

> NOTE: ‘elementHandle.tap()` requires that the hasTouch option of the browser context be set to true.

Focuses the element, and then sends a keydown, keypress/input, and keyup event for each character in the text.

To press a special key, like Control or ArrowDown, use [‘method: ElementHandle.press`].

“‘js await elementHandle.type(’Hello’); // Types instantly await elementHandle.type(‘World’, 100); // Types slower, like a user “‘

“‘python async await element_handle.type(“hello”) # types instantly await element_handle.type(“world”, delay=100) # types slower, like a user “`

“‘python sync element_handle.type(“hello”) # types instantly element_handle.type(“world”, delay=100) # types slower, like a user “`

“‘js const elementHandle = await page.$(’input’); await elementHandle.type(‘some text’); await elementHandle.press(‘Enter’); “‘

“‘python async element_handle = await page.query_selector(“input”) await element_handle.type(“some text”) await element_handle.press(“Enter”) “`

“‘python sync element_handle = page.query_selector(“input”) element_handle.type(“some text”) element_handle.press(“Enter”) “`

#uncheck(force: nil, noWaitAfter: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

This method checks the element by performing the following steps:

  1. Ensure that element is a checkbox or a radio input. If not, this method rejects. If the element is already unchecked, this method returns immediately.

  2. Wait for [actionability](./actionability.md) checks on the element, unless force option is set.

  3. Scroll the element into view if needed.

  4. Use [‘property: Page.mouse`] to click in the center of the element.

  5. Wait for initiated navigations to either succeed or fail, unless noWaitAfter option is set.

  6. Ensure that the element is now unchecked. If not, this method rejects.

If the element is detached from the DOM at any moment during the action, this method rejects.

When all steps combined have not finished during the specified timeout, this method rejects with a TimeoutError. Passing zero timeout disables this.

#visible? ⇒ Boolean

Returns whether the element is [visible](./actionability.md#visible).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#wait_for_element_state(state, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Returns when the element satisfies the state.

Depending on the state parameter, this method waits for one of the [actionability](./actionability.md) checks to pass. This method throws when the element is detached while waiting, unless waiting for the ‘“hidden”` state.

  • ‘“visible”` Wait until the element is [visible](./actionability.md#visible).

  • ‘“hidden”` Wait until the element is [not visible](./actionability.md#visible) or [not attached](./actionability.md#attached). Note that waiting for hidden does not throw when the element detaches.

  • ‘“stable”` Wait until the element is both [visible](./actionability.md#visible) and [stable](./actionability.md#stable).

  • ‘“enabled”` Wait until the element is [enabled](./actionability.md#enabled).

  • ‘“disabled”` Wait until the element is [not enabled](./actionability.md#enabled).

  • ‘“editable”` Wait until the element is [editable](./actionability.md#editable).

If the element does not satisfy the condition for the timeout milliseconds, this method will throw.

#wait_for_selector(selector, state: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Returns element specified by selector when it satisfies state option. Returns null if waiting for hidden or detached.

Wait for the selector relative to the element handle to satisfy state option (either appear/disappear from dom, or become visible/hidden). If at the moment of calling the method selector already satisfies the condition, the method will return immediately. If the selector doesn’t satisfy the condition for the timeout milliseconds, the function will throw.

“‘js await page.setContent(`<div><span></span></div>`); const div = await page.$(’div’); // Waiting for the ‘span’ selector relative to the div. const span = await div.waitForSelector(‘span’, { state: ‘attached’ }); “‘

“‘python async await page.set_content(“<div><span></span></div>”) div = await page.query_selector(“div”) # waiting for the “span” selector relative to the div. span = await div.wait_for_selector(“span”, state=“attached”) “`

“‘python sync page.set_content(“<div><span></span></div>”) div = page.query_selector(“div”) # waiting for the “span” selector relative to the div. span = div.wait_for_selector(“span”, state=“attached”) “`

> NOTE: This method does not work across navigations, use [‘method: Page.waitForSelector`] instead.
