Now as 20143 is fixed I'm not able to find a way to resize a dialog window

Before https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=20143 was fixed I was able to do

    Window dialog = window.open('dialog.html');
    dialog.resizeTo(700,700)

now

    window.open(...)

returns a _DOMWindowCrossFrame
and I am not able to figure out how I can access the resizeTo() method

You can do this:

    Window dialog = window.open('dialog.html') as Window; // forced cast
    dialog.resizeTo(700,700);

but I agree that this is not an obvious way to do this because window.open currently returns a WindowBase instance and WindowBase is not a subclass of Window. And probably the window.open method could return a Window instance which has a 'document' property for manipulating the contents of the window and methods like 'resizeTo'.

This doesn't change anything. This "cast" is only for the analyzer and totally ignored in production and it is what I did before the 'fix' to 20143.
In the recent releases a '_DomWindowCrossFrame' is returned instead of a 'WindowBase' and this can't be "cast" to a 'Window' anymore.
