        <pre>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”;
}

&lt;a href=&quot;something.html&quot; onclick=&quot;something();&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Adding a tabindex=”0” does not change the behavior.
