title: How can I activate Java and the Java Console in Safari?
body: <p>I just spent hours finding out how to activate Java and the Java Console in Safari, and nothing I could find on the Web was helpful for me, so I thought I'd ask this as a question here and answer it in case others have the same problem:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 and using Safari Version 5.1.1 (6534.51.22).
    Java applets don't seem to load, and the Java Console doesn't open
    even though I followed all the instructions I found online on how to
    activate it, such as opening the Java Preferences in
    Applications/Utilities and selecting the "show console" radio button
    on the "advanced" tab. What else can I do?</p>
