I don't think this is possible. Sessions live on the server (not strictly true I know, but for the purposes of this answer, it's true enough).

I would write a script (PHP or somesuch) that unsets the session variable and fire off an ajax call to it.

You would need to use an Ajax call to the server to access/delete the session variable as sessions are controlled/handled only on the server side, not the client side.
