So is there any JavaScript or Java API that has the write access to the
username/password stored in the browser? Thanks!

i know that IE on the Mac (any version) doesn't actually dump session data
until you've "QUIT" the browser, not just closed the window.

IE on windows displays the behavior indicated in the previous
response....it's based on parent-child relationships between windows.

IE on win32:
1.  File-->New Window or a target=_blank or javascript popup ... (same
session data as current window)
2.  double-click "Internet Explorer" or any other method will create a
totally empty new browser, devoid of previous session data.

i don't know about netscape / mozilla.
