I have a form, when submitted, it passes GET variables back to self. If i then go ahead and select another form value, in the URL, the current GET values stay, and the new ones are appended to the URL.

Code: 
<input type="button" value="submit" onClick="window.location=self.location.href + '?row=' + document.myform.mylist.value + '&value=' + this.form.values.value + '&set=1';">
the URL after one submit:
adv_search5.php?row=ip_address&value=20.7.254.33&set=1

the URL after two:
adv_search5.php?row=ip_address&value=20.7.254.33&set=1?row=app_server&value=Yes&set=1

Code: 
<input type="button" value="submit" onClick="window.location=self.location.href[!].split("?")[0][/!] + '?row=' + document.myform.mylist.value + '&value=' + this.form.values.value + '&set=1';">

You don't put anything inside the split, it should work exactly as I showed. Copy/paste this example into a new html file:
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[/URL]
<head>
<title>title test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript">

var a = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.somepage.com?abc=xyz";[/URL]
alert(a.split("?")[0]);

</script>
<style type="text/css"></style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

You'll see that the querystring results from the address stored in the variable a are dropped off the string. This allows you to add fresh, new querystring results to your link. If you made the changes I noted above then there's something else wrong with your code because what I posted should work.

My apologies, using double quotes in the split function to encapsulate the ? was what screwed it up, it terminated the onclick value for the button. Just change it to single quotes instead:
Code: 
split([!]'[/!]?[!]'[/!])
