Same thing there. It is all controlled by the browser, having a web page delete your autocomplete usernames/passwords would be quite an security issue.
Might be some API to hook into going down the ActiveX path, but that's overkill. Overall, I think the best would be to step back a little and consider the design of your application and why this is a problem at all. The AutoComplete feature is there to assist people. This is also getting slightly off-topic considering this is the AppFuse mailing list.
