Trouble Using setInterval function
Question
I'm having some trouble getting the below to work. I'm trying to run this asynchronous function called Chat.fetch and I can get the messages it returns to display correctly. When I try to pass it through setInterval it will return the chat messages once but not refresh them every 3 seconds which is what I'm trying to do. Any direction would be awesome. Thanks!

Try this:
function fetchNew() {
var PrintChat=function(Chat_Messages){
var y=Chat_Messages.length;
for(i=0;i<y;i++){
Chat.display(Chat_Messages[i]);
}
}
Chat.fetch(PrintChat);
}
setInterval(fetchNew,3000);
The problem in your original code is that PrintMessages is the result of calling a function, rather than function itself.
