Use something like this:
In the preamble:
\usepackage{framed}
\def\xcaption#1{%
\fs@boxed%
\def\@captype{algorithm}%
\caption{#1}%
\unvbox\@floatcapt\par}
and in the text use:
\begin{framed}
.....
.....
\end{framed}
\xcaption{the caption}
PS: If you use the algorithm float for computer language code (C++,java etc.),
then you probably should use listings package.
