Ajax being called twice on setInterval

I'm doing ajax calls in a specific time interval using javascript setInterval function however the ajax code is being executed twice, so I'm getting the same response twice and I have no idea why this is happening, here's the code:

        setInterval(function () {ajaxCall();},15000);

        function ajaxCall(){
            var uri = "url here";
            $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: uri,
            dataType: "jsonp",
            success: function(response){
                    console.log(response);
                    var txt = $("#textarea");
                    txt.val( txt.val() + response.user + " (" + response.time + ") > " 
                    + response.text + '\n');
                    }
            });
        }

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ok so I just figured it out, I had that script inside the html body tag but if I move it inside head tags it stops calling it twice, not sure why this is but it solved the problem. Sorry for wasting your time for something that simple xD
