Ok, I'm going to try here.
with all the "overtrimming" much of the 'discussion' is lost in previous
posts, so forgive me if I pull in text from older posts in this thread.

in the above there are a few things to consider:
1. according to XHTML 'standards' <TAGS> and its attributes should be <lowercase>
2. language is deprecated, type=text/javascript should be used instead
3. close your <tags> with </tags> (</script> and </head>)
4. make sure that relative paths are valid and the file is there.

to 3. you mentioned that it was ok in your original.
now, to continue

ok, so /e-shop is a virtual folder?
IOW, you either access src="../inc/validation.js" as
<ip>/e-shop/inc/validation.js
or
<ip>/inc/validation.js

now from http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/e-shop/new_contract.asp
"../inc/validation.js" resolves to
http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/e-shop/../inc/validation.js
^^^^^^^^^
../ removes e-shop/8
http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/inc/validation.js
so this is where your file should be, but as I understand, it is on
http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/e-shop/inc/validation.js

then the line should read:
<script type="text/javascript" src="inc/validation.js"></script>

without the ../ and no preceding / before inc/validation.js
