The most basic answer is that for JavaScript clients, the host will usually be the same as the host the HTML file was served from. The same-origin rules require it to be this way. See the source code of Futon for examples of using jquery.couch.js (better than couch.js for most purposes). There are lots of examples of using CouchDB from the browser, but the Futon source code is the easiest to get.
