Description Jon Avila 2015-08-17 12:02:07 PDT 
If you have an HTML link with no inner text but pseudo content and an aria-label, when you activate the link with VO by double tapping no events are fired on the link under iOS 8+.  iOS 7 works correctly.
 
a::before {
  content: “help”;
}
 
<a href="something.html" onclick="something();"></a>
 
Adding a tabindex=”0” does not change the behavior.
