The water in the oceans is coming from rivers. The river water is taking with it all kinds of material (some of it salt/minerals). As the ocean water is heated by the sun, the water becomes steam and moves in to the atmosphere (forming clouds, for example), but the salt does not vaporate as water does. Therefore the remaining water is salty (more salt for less water).
You can very easily try this by heating some water. First add a little bit of salt in a pot of water, stir it so it dissolves. Taste it before and after heating the water (caution: the water should cool before tasting). You'll get the idea.

How do the material that makes water salty enter into the waterway?
The material that makes water salty is, you guessed it, salt! When various minerals are chemically weathered, they release there various constituents, and these then travel, dissolved in water, into the ocean. The water in the ocean then evaporates, rains, and flows back into the ocean loaded with more salt. The effect of this is to increase the concentration of salt in the ocean such that it seems "salty" to us.
What can cause certain parts of the ocean to be saltier?
