I guess with 'logged in with .htaccess', you mean HTTP authentication.
There is usually no way to 'logout' except for closing the browser - the
words 'login' and 'logout' are in fact wrong when talking about HTTP
authentication, as HTTP is stateless and there is no user session to log
into or out of.
There is no way for a server tell a browser to forget the user credentials.
At least for FireFox the webdeveloper extension provides a menu option to
clear the user credentials, forcing the user to re-enter the credentials on
the next access (which is the closest thing to 'being logged out' HTTP can
offer).
