How do you enable Java on Mac?

Trying to use the advanced uploader on YouTube, and when i click on it, it says i need to have Java, and when i go to download it, it says that Mac has their own Java built it, so how do you enable it, for me to be able to upload the vids?

What web browser are you using? It should already be enabled...

Go to your web browser's preferences, and make sure... alt text

Is that option selected?
