Fetch elements from a website which load after 3 seconds

When I fetch from a website using fetch, I need to figure out a way to get an element which loads after 3-4 seconds. How should I attempt to do this? My code currently is

const body = await fetch('websiteurl')
let html = await body.text();

const parser = new DOMParser();
html = parser.parseFromString(html, 'text/html');

html.getElementById('pde-ff'); // undefined

I can assure this element exists and if I go to the website and use the last line and replace html with document, it works but I need to wait for website to load. Any ideas?

pretty much your stuff isnt loading at the correct time

so you need to wait for html to open and theres a lot of ways to do this

  1. use jquery $(function() {alert("It's loaded!");});
  2. use vanilla js window.addEventListener('load', function () {alert("It's loaded!");})
