Are you sure they are using the Apache .htaccess method?  I can send the
same auth challenge using php, authenticate the user against a datbase, then
store a magic cookie on the users computer that says they're logged in.
When they click the logout button, simply delete the cookie.  This could be
accomplised using JavaScript too (the cookie handling part).
