| Parameter       | Type    | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
|-----------------|---------|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| selector        | string  | `''`    | A selector to search for an element. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be used.                                                                                                                                              |
| options         | object  | `null`  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| options.strict  | boolean | `false` | When `true`, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.                                                                                                        |
| options.timeout | number  | `30000` | Maximum time in milliseconds. Pass `0` to disable the timeout. Default is overridden by the `setDefaultTimeout` option on [BrowserContext](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/) or [Page](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/page/). |
