The official HTML5 specification includes the following advice:
“The noscript element is a blunt instrument. Sometimes, scripts might be 
enabled, but for some reason the page's script might fail. For this 
reason, it's generally better to avoid using noscript, and to instead 
design the script to change the page from being a scriptless page to a 
scripted page on the fly” (followed by an example of that).

You could then put that button inside a <noscript> element. This is 
blunt instrument indeed.

Simply wrap all that inside <noscript>:

<noscript>
<div id="ibuttons">
<input type="button" onclick="shostats()" id="istatsbutt" value="View
Statistics" />
<hr />
</div>
</noscript>

Alternatively, you could have just <div id="ibuttons"></div> (i.e. with 
empty content) and generate the button and associated elements 
dynamically with JavaScript.

That would not make sense. When scripting is disabled, you want to 
*exclude* the button. Here you would *include* it (though with a 
presentational suggestion that it should not be presented). This would 
not affect the presence of the button that you have specified earlier.
