By default the runtime runs in a Web Worker so there is not direct access to the DOM.

If it's a small and simple amount of JS code, it might be better just to use the JS coding feature (which switches to DOM mode by default).

Why? If it's a small amount of code, pick the right tool for the job, and the JavaScript coding feature is probably better for that.
