Invalidates browser's cache for a given page based on the last refresh.

Usage:
- Include in the HEAD of your page and set the TTL
    <html>

    <head>
     <script src="http://your_site/javascripts/querystring.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
     <script src="http://your_site/javascripts/cache_invalidation.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    </head>

    <body>
    </body>

    </html>

- And set the TTL you want into the cache_invalidation.js file:
    // TTL: set your cache threshold here
    var ttl = 300;  // seconds

The querystring.js component I got from Adam Vandenberg:
