   <p>Here's how the affix plugin works:</p>
   <ol>
     <li>To start, the plugin adds <code>.affix-top</code> to indicate the element is in its top-most position. At this point no CSS positioning is required.</li>
-    <li>Scrolling past the element you want affixed should trigger the actual affixing. This is where <code>.affix</code> replaces <code>.affix-top</code> and sets <code>position: fixed;</code> (provided by Bootstrap's code CSS).</li>
-    <li>If a bottom offset is defined, scrolling past that should replace <code>.affix</code> with <code>.affix-bottom</code>. Since offsets are optional, setting one requires you to set the appropriate CSS. In this case, add <code>position: absolute;</code> when necessary. The plugin uses the data attribute or JavaScript option to determine where to position the element from there.</li>
