Just turn the question around: what is a correct and simple way to show
a hidden button if scripting is available in a browser?  That's rather
easy to accomplish:

  <button id="my_button" style="display: none">Label</button>
  <script>
    document.getElementById("my_button").style.display = ""
  </script>

However, it is even better to avoid hidden buttons, that require browser
side scripting to be useful, in the first place (consider CSS being not
available), so the following solution comes to mind:

  <script>
    document.write('<button id="my_button">Label<\/button>');
  </script>
