clickable

Ready for clicking

Clickable describes something on a screen that responds when you click it—a link, button, or image that triggers an action: Make sure the email address is clickable.

The word extends to anything inviting interaction: clickable content, clickable headlines.

If it's not clickable, clicking does nothing.
