Remove quotes from your RegExp:

alert('http://example.com/?test=1'.replace(/(\S)+\?/g, ''));

If you have quotes there, then it's trying to replace the string '/(\S)+\?/g' with '', and therefore not doing regular expression replace.

You need to create a regular expression object:

alert('http://example.com/?test=1'.replace(/(\S)+\?/g, ''));
