There are a number of existing Javascript  methods for executing cells,
including execute_cell_range(start, end) and execute_all_cells().

See:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/6ecbe721af987d743b7bfcec0448e4edace5f812/IPython/html/static/notebook/js/notebook.js#L1685

And this notebook includes a simple example of adding keyboard shortcut
using this method.  See:

It's easy to generalize that to a Javascript button.
