Services list in ESB Control is empty

Question

Hi,
I have installed SOA Suite (10.1.3.1.0) on my laptop (Basic install).
I have tried the "Getting started" guide for ESB. So installing the CustomerSample.zip (create table customer, importing metadata...) but when I go to the ESB Control web site, the services list is empty.
When I click on the button to refresh the list it takes a while and nothing happens...
I have tried to reinstall the suite without any network connection (I know a problem with DHCP and name resolution in the past) but nothing changes.
In addition, if I use IE I get a javascript error (URL object undefined). In Mozilla I do not get any javascrip error.
I have checked the esb_parameter table , it seems correct:
SQL> select * from esb_parameter;
PARAM_NAME | PARAM_VALUE
-----------------------------+-------------------------------
PROP_NAME_MONITOR_TOPIC_JNDI | OracleASjms/ESBMonitorTopic
PROP_NAME_ERROR_XATCF_JNDI | OracleASjms/MyXATCF
PROP_NAME_ERROR_RETRY_JNDI | OracleASjms/ESBErrorRetryTopic
DT_OC4J_HTTP_PORT | 8888
PROP_NAME_CONTROL_TCF_JNDI | OracleASjms/MyXATCF
PROP_NAME_MONITOR_TCF_JNDI | OracleASjms/MyTCF
PROP_NAME_ERROR_TOPIC_JNDI | OracleASjms/ESBErrorTopic
PROP_NAME_ERROR_TCF_JNDI | OracleASjms/MyTCF
PROP_NAME_CONTROL_TOPIC_JNDI | OracleASjms/ESBControlTopic
PROP_NAME_DEFERRED_TCF_JNDI | OracleASjms/MyTCF
DT_OC4J_HOST | localhost
PROP_NAME_DEFERRED_XATCF_JNDI | OracleASjms/MyXATCF
PROP_NAME_ERROR_RETRY_TCF_JNDI | OracleASjms/MyXATCF
So is it a bug in the console??
Any idea?
Thanks.
Fabrice.
