    public String accountName { get; set; }
    public static Account account { get; set; }
    public remotingexample() { }
   
    @RemoteAction
    webservice static Account getAccount(String accountName)
    {
        account = [select id, name from Account where name=:accountName ];
        return account;
    }
}

<apex:page controller="remotingexample">
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function getAccountJS()
    {
        var accountNameJS = document.getElementById('accName').value;       
        sample.getAccount( accountNameJS,
        function(result, event)
        {
            if (event.status)
            {
                // demonstrates how to get ID for HTML and Visualforce tags
                document.getElementById("{!$Component.theBlock.thePageBlockSection.theFirstItem.accId}").innerHTML = result.Id;
                document.getElementById("{!$Component.theBlock.thePageBlockSection.theSecondItem.accNam}").innerHTML = result.Name;
            }

            }
