4-41-6 says that the designated throw-in spot is 3 feet wide with no depth limitation and is established by the official prior to putting the ball at the thrower's disposal. The spot is on the playing surface. The rule book isn't required to address ridiculous situations such as a player stepping onto a stair, a chair, a table, the bleachers, or a ladder to make a throw-in. None of these item are part of the playing floor.
