phrases - "the page elements" or "the page's elements"


Many times I see constructions like



the node's text , the node text



the node's tag, the node tag


the page elements, the page's elements


the page footer (to mean the footer of page), the page header...



I know that they are different but it seems sometimes they can be used in place of each other. for example what is the difference of



  • the page elements

  • the elements of page

  • the page's elements



I found it awkward to repeat the page's elements if I can't use "the page elements".


Are there times that we can use both an adjective and a possessive construction for something?
