Hi, Clickable is a valid html element that turns an item into something like a link with a few minor different properties. You should be able to click the mouse cursor on one of these items and and some action should occur. If the site you cite has items labeled clickable that are not it is because their html and/or JavaScript is broken. Whatever content pops up or is otherwise presented to you when you click on such an object is up to the authors of the page and is not a function of the clickable property, Safari or pretty much anything else you use.
For more on this, you can look at the web content guidelines or, more to the point for your issue, the web content accessibility guidelines and the web user agent guidelines. The WCAG tells web authors how to make the clickable item accessible and the UAG tells screen reader and other access technology authors how it should be presented to the user. All of these guidelines plus lots more great stuff can be found at: www.w3c.org/wai . The WAI stands for web accessibility initiative.
