How to avoid multiple instances of WebDialog?

[NewOne]

Is there a way to avoid multiple WebDialog instances to open? I'm making some tests/learning how to handle JS and webdialogs and I observed that each time I load my webdialog.rb file, it opens a new window without affecting previous ones.
I'd like to force somehow just one window, or to close the old one when the new one is created.
Thanks.

bit of a guess as i havent done anything with web dialogs before, but could you try and talk to the webdialog before you open a new one? that way you could test if ones already open then open a new one if necessary.

module MyDialog

# Use a module variable to store one reference to your dialog
@dialog = UI;;WebDialog.new("Show Google.com", true,
   "ShowGoogleDotCom", 739, 641, 150, 150, true);
@dialog.set_url "http://www.google.com"

def self.show_dialog
  # Now you can use that variable to check if it's already visible or not
  if @dialog.visible?
    @dialog.show
  else
    @dialog.bring_to_front
  end
end

end
