Trigger the event after making the HTML object in JQuery

I want an event to be triggered after the creation of the corresponding HTML object (href in my case).

I've written this code:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('body').on('click', '#stats-link', function(e) {
        console.log('TRIGGERED'); // nothing is logged
        e.preventDefault();
        $.post('stats.php', {'email': $('#email').val()}, function() {
            window.location = $(this).attr('href');
        });
    });

    $('#submit_button').click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        ...
        $('#info').html('<p class="desc"><a href="stats.php" id="stats-link">bla bla bla</a></p>');
        ...
    });
});

So, I make a href object identified by stats-link in the #submit_button function, then I want him to be triggered in the corresponding function (i.e., $('body').on(...), but it doesn't happen. What am I doing wrong?

Did you missed this line: 

$('#stats-link').trigger('click');

This will trigger the click event. The code you shared only binds the event. You need to trigger it.

JS:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('body').on('click', '#stats-link', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        alert('clicked')
        $.post('stats.php', {
            'email': $('#email').val()
        }, function () {
            window.location = $(this).attr('href');
        });
    });

    $('#submit_button').click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $('#info').html('<p class="desc"><a href="stats.php" id="stats-link">bla bla bla</a></p>');
        $('#stats-link').trigger('click'); //This is where you trigger the click.
    });
});

Your preventDefault() parameter is lacked :

$('body').on('click', '#stats-link', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $.post('stats.php', {'email': $('#email').val()}, function() {
        window.location = $(this).attr('href');
    });
});

What is e? Are you sure the click event isn't actually working, but just giving you a script error and bailing out before it does anything? Your callback function does not define the passed in event parameter e.

$('body').on('click', '#stats-link', function() { // <-- No e parameter supplied.
        e.preventDefault();  // <---- What is e?
        ...
}
