[support] page with multiple nodes configurable by unreg user

[Bert Van Kets]

Thanks for the feedback Earnie.
I got the updating of the data of the nodes fixed by creating a unique 
string and setting it as a unique value. The nodes data is updating fine 
now.
 From what I read it is not advised to use the XMLnodeID as a Drupal 
Node ID, so I avoided that route.

I just need to get the updating of the nodes on the client over Ajax 
running. I have a page with static content (info on and statuses of 
people), so I'm not sure on how to do the update as there is no feedback 
from the user.
