I don’t think you took the easy way. It’s unnecessarily complicated, and 
unnecessarily risky.

You are using both JavaScript and CSS when JavaScript would suffice. 
Even in terms of amount of code, it is more complicated than simply 
using <noscript> (just two tags!) by its spec and about as complicated 
as generating the button dynamically. In terms of technologies used, it 
involves an entirely different technology, CSS. And in terms of 
robustness, it means that when CSS is disabled, the button appears even 
when JavaScript is disabled.

So why would you get prepared for the non-availability of a particular 
technology, JavaScript, in a manner that absolutely requires the 
availability of another technology, CSS?
