If it is a Windows based intranet, I would not hassle with Javascript, but use the default NTLM-Authentication, as described in this thread. That way, you can provide a single-sign-on for any number of sites with the normal username and password of the users of your network. To quote my answer from the other thread:

It actually is possible with NTLM authentication. You need the AuthenNTLM-plugin, which will authenticate a user using the Internet Explorer. An example syntax would be

    PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenNTLM 
    AuthType ntlm,basic
    AuthName test
    require valid-user

    #                    domain             pdc                bdc
    PerlAddVar ntdomain "name_domain1   name_of_pdc1"
    PerlAddVar ntdomain "other_domain   pdc_for_domain    bdc_for_domain"

    PerlSetVar defaultdomain wingr1
    PerlSetVar ntlmdebug 1

Please refer to the module documentation for more options and specific instructions on the setup - the above should get you started in the right direction.

On the client side, Internet Explorer and Firefox should be able to login automatically after some configuration (Firefox needing a bit of special care - which may be achieved by setting the configuration variables during deployment).
