Framed box is a resizable window control that has frame border around the client area. Its resource stores the frame dimensions and keeps offscreen images of all elements of the frame. Additionally this resource can define window effects (as described in QWindow) and initial opacity.

The frame around the client area is made up from pieces (as it's shown on the picture), each piece has its double-character code. Pieces in the corners have fixed size and are known as "corner images" (TL, TR, BL, BR). Elements TC, MR, BC, ML get tiled when the box is stretched.

"Effects" property is basically a browser specific feature. MS IE family browsers on WIN32 platform provide the most comprehensive support for effects. Netscape 6 and 7 (including Mozilla 1.0) both support opacity filter and a few transition effects (emulated by the script). Opera ignores window effects so far. For more details on cross-browser support refer to Implementaion Notes to QWndCtrl class.
