Make the script & css references versioned. add a date time string at the end of file extension with ? mark. Ex:

<script src = "main.js?ver=" + dateTimeNow />

I didn't get this thing with a variable to work like you put it above, but I used this concept of putting the version on the end using a ? so that worked for me.
