<body>
<ice:panelGrid columns="1" width="760px" styleClass="contentPanel">
<ice:panelGroup>
<ice:outputText value="Name"></ice:outputText>

<ice:commandButton onclick="validate();"></ice:commandButton>

</ice:panelGroup>

</ice:panelGrid>

I am not able to access the javascript.Getting error as validate not defined.

Solution

Your code seems correct, except that you have to nest all your inputText and commandButton components in a form:

<body>
    <f:form>
        <ice:panelGrid columns="1" width="760px" styleClass="contentPanel">
            <ice:panelGroup>
                <ice:outputText value="Name"/>
                <ice:inputText value="" id="name"/>
                <ice:commandButton onclick="validate();"/>
            </ice:panelGroup>
        </ice:panelGrid>
    </f:form>
</body>
