dompdf error cant figure this one out

I am getting this error:

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to DOMNode::appendChild() must be an instance of DOMNode, null given, called in /home/emscompl/public_html/pdf_email/dompdf/include/table_frame_decorator.cls.php on line 304 and defined in /home/emscompl/public_html/pdf_email/dompdf/include/frame.cls.php on line 726

Here is the dompdf code.

<?php


/*$dir = dirname(__FILE__);
 require_once($dir.'/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php');

  $dompdf = new DOMPDF();

  $dompdf->load_html_file("http://ems-complete.com/pdf_email/patient-report.php");

    $dompdf->render(); 

    $dompdf->stream("file.pdf");*/

    $course = $_REQUEST['course'];

    $dir = dirname(__FILE__);

 require_once($dir.'/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php');
  $dompdf = new DOMPDF();

   $dompdf->load_html(file_get_contents("http://ems-complete.com/courseroster/courseroster.php?course=".$course));      


  $dompdf->render();
 // $dompdf->set_paper(2412, 3222);
  $dompdf->stream("courseroster.pdf");

 // exit(0);


?>

Here is the PHP HTML

<html>
<head>

 printscreen.close();

In your HTML-generating script you have an opening TR outside the while loop that looks like it should be inside the loop (the closing tag is inside the loop). This will cause an invalid document structure, and apparently one which dompdf is unable to parse.

FYI, the first thing to do if dompdf won't parse a document is to run it through a validator.
