Try this:

    function makeButton() {
        var buttonDiv = document.getElementById("addr_postcode");
        var Button = document.createElement("input");
        Button.setAttribute("type", "button");
        Button.setAttribute("id", "ButtonClick");
        Button.setAttribute("value", "New button");
        Button.setAttribute("onclick", "btnClick(" + buttonDiv.value.toString() + ");");
        buttonDiv.appendChild(Button);
    }

    btnClick(URL) {
        window.open(URL,'','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no');
    }
