Your question title is not self explanatory and there is no explanation to the problem you are facing in your description. — The Dark Knight, Mar 06 '13 at 09:58
You probably mean to make your first line: `var NewDialog = $("#MenuDialog");` — Sudipta Chatterjee, Mar 06 '13 at 09:58

Try this:

function get_devcies_full(id,slno)
{
    $.post("user/get_full_device/" +id + "/" +slno,
        function(data) {
            if(!($("#MenuDialog").length))//if this div created for first time
            {
                $(body).append('<div id="MenuDialog"></div>');//First time you have to append this in body  
            }
            if (!$('#MenuDialog').dialog('isOpen'))
            //Try if not works => if(!($("#MenuDialog").parents(".ui-dialog").is(":visible")))
            {
                $("#MenuDialog").dialog({
                    modal: true,
                    title: "Title",
                    width :940,
                    height:600    
                });
            }
            $("#MenuDialog").html(data);
            var t = setTimeout(function () {get_devcies_full(id,slno);},5000);
        }
    );
}
