You should keep in mind that CouchDB is not a browser and JavaScript is just a language with really no notion of a standard library. The browser hosts the DOM and JavaScript, so you use JavaScript to interact with the DOM.
CouchDB does not come with a DOM or HTML parser library. You can still use CommonJS modules and require them in your functions if you find a good library. Hopefully someone can suggest one as I do not know. http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/CommonJS_Modules I would say that it seems odd to me you would want to store the actual HTML in CouchDB and not just the data. Then use shows to render the data into the format of choice. Of course I have no idea what your situation is.
