How do I call jQuery function every 3 seconds?

Suppose I have an html code :

[code=php]<html>
<head>
<script src=”includejquery.js”/>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”chat.js”></script>
</head>
<title>Chat</title>
<body onload=”process()”>
<div id=”chatmessages”>
</div>
</body>
</html>[/code]

Suppose I have a jQuery code(chat.js) :

[code]
function process(){
$.get(‘chat.php’, function(data) {
$(“#chatmessages”).html(data+”<hr />”);
});
});[/code]

As you see its a very simple and basic code to implement chatting.
And I intend to call the function process() every 3 seconds.
What do I do to call the function process() every 3 seconds?

@WordpressDevJul 14.2013 — declare a custom event with 'on' then trigger it with setInterval(). I am not a good code savvy. I think you are better coder than I. So please convert the logic into code. I will work.

I just found out the solution. The jQuery code should be like this :
function process(){
$.get('chat.php', function(data) {
$("#chatmessages").html(data);
});
setTimeout(function(){
process();},3000);
}
Its working perfectly with that.

Thanks anyways.
