What is wrong with my manifest.json file? This is my first attempt at Experimental Code …  
[  
{  
“kind”:“column”,  
“name”:“removeDiv”,  
“description”:“Remove the title div”,  
“author”:“Mike Carsella [mike.carsella@gmail.com](mailto:mike.carsella@gmail.com)”,  
“params”:[{}],  
“result”:{}  
}  
]

You need to set the params and the result you expect.

Take a look at the documentation.

My function does not require parameters and returns no result. I intend the run the function on document load. I added some dummy parameters and a dummy result but still get same error when I try to add the experimental code.

What exactly are you trying to do with this? What title div do you want to remove?
