How to create jQuery Dialog in function

Question

Does anyone know how to create a jQuery Dialog in a function? I can\'t find an attribute to set the message... In every example I found, the dialog has been statically written i

I used this with additionally jQuery tmpl plugin.

var confirmTemplate = jQuery.template("
${text}
");

   function showDialog(options) {
        if (options && options.data && options.dialog) {
            var dialogOptions = jQuery.extend({}, { modal: true, resizable: false, draggable: false }, options.dialog);
            return jQuery.tmpl(confirmTemplate, options.data).dialog(dialogOptions);
        }
    }

    function hideDialog (item) {
        if (!item.jQuery) item = $(item);
        item.dialog("close").dialog("destroy").remove();

}

usage:

showDialog({
             data: {
                      title: "My Title",
                      text: "my Text"
                   }
             dialog: {
                     myDialog: "options"
             }
           });
