setInteval is not a function, setInterval() is, mind your spelling.

Things do not work because they look like something in JS, but because they 
are developed to do something that is described in the specs.

Did you read the fucking specs? 
And did you try to understand them?

==================

Btw, the function setTimeout() is much easier for your task,
because it only fires once, 
so [usually] you do not have to stop it,
so then you can use it as a statement in stead of a function,
because you do not need a pointer to it,
that needs global or in-scope storage.
