Bug 162076 – AX: empty anchor tag with href does not navigate in voiceover

• Component: Accessibility
• Status: RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED

I'm on an iphone with ios9.3

We use anchor tags and styleclass to show an icon and if you click or tap on it it will navigate to an url specified in the href attribute. 
There is no text inside of the <a> tag.

In voiceover mode on ios it doesn't navigate. I double tapped on it and it does nothing. It works on android.

Here's a page showing the issue. Double tap on the ? anchor. It should go to www.oracle.com. It doesn't go anywhere.

<a tabindex="0" target="_blank"
class="oj-label-help-icon-anchor oj-label-help-icon oj-component-icon oj-clickable-icon-nocontext"
href="http://www.oracle.com" aria-label="your custom help definition here"></a>

style:
.oj-label-help-icon:before {

    content: "\e60b";

}
