Did you figure out what the problem was? I'm seeing the same issue, trying to access companyhome from my ftl rendition template for my web form.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding your problem but I don't think you can't run javascript within a freemarker template (the ftl file). What I've always done (which works) is to run some java or javascript that puts values into the "model" object which you can then display with
freemarker. The javascript goes in a .js file?

The other "gotcha" is where are you running your javascript? Different javascript "root" objects will be available depending on your environment. Typical environments are in a browser window, server side non alfresco (e.g. surf) or server side alfresco.
