Add the button markup directly in the HTML?

Rather than using jQuery to insert the button markup, is there anything wrong with just adding it to the HTML file, and then using jQuery to hide/show it as required?

My thoughts are that the HTML is then all in one place, rather than putting HTML in the .js file.
