You can use AJAX to "load" the page that calls FormsAuthentication.SignOut.

Using JQuery it would look something like this, given that the logout button has ID "logout".

$('#logout').click(function () {
    $.ajax({
        url: '/logout',
        success: function () {
            document.location = '/logged_out';
        }, error: function () { 
            alert('Logout failed');
        }
    });
    return false;
});
