Control JQuery Animation Sequence

Hi All,

I want to have a slide up bar appear on my last slide which also revels a text link when it slides up and stay there, and it would stay visable for like 8 seconds then slide  back down and hide.

Currently I'm using this code to achieve it, but also I am trying to control the timing of another selector, text, but on one server it works, but on another, i had to modify the values of the 'setTimeout' function, but still can't get it to work properly, are these settimeout values eq 6500 normal to have?

Here is the snippet of code from the attached code, this is where the animation happens and where my issue is:

jQuery.fn.fadeToggle = function(speed, easing, callback) {
      return this.animate({opacity: 'toggle'}, 400, easing, callback);  
    };
    
    /* .fadeToggle('slow'); */

	
     
	$("#headerimg" + currentContainer).animate({width: 'toggle'},700,function() {

		    setTimeout(function() {
		    		$('#expandingFooter').slideToggle();
                	$(".pictureduri").fadeToggle('slow');
           		}, 6500); 
           
            setTimeout(function() {
            	
                $("#headertxt").fadeToggle('slow');
                animating = false;
            }, 1700);
        });
