Should both of them reference the same object?

window. location is read/write on all compliant browsers. document. location is read-only in Internet Explorer (at least), but read/write in Gecko-based browsers (Firefox, SeaMonkey).
The location property of a window (i.e. window. location ) is a reference to a Location object; it represents the current URL of the document being displayed in that window. Since window object is at the top of the scope chain, so properties of the window. location object can be accessed without window.
The Document. location read-only property returns a Location object, which contains information about the URL of the document and provides methods for changing that URL and loading another URL. Though Document. location is a read-only Location object, you can also assign a string to it.
According to the W3C, they are the same. In reality, for cross browser safety, you should use window.location rather than document.location.
