What is wrong with:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
     document.write ('<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Click Me"
  onClick="ButtonHandler()">');
// -->
</SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>
<P>Since your browser is not script-enabled, please use the
<A HREF="nobutton.html">alternative document</A>.
</NOSCRIPT>
