Call to undefined method DOMText::getAttribute()

When trying to call dompdf I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMText::getAttribute() in /
include/pdf/dompdf/include/cellmap.cls.php on line 399

On my page where I generate the html and call dompdf I have a variable
called $html.
It's when i'm trying to call dompdf with this variable it fails.

IF I echo $html and copy-paste the sourcecode from the page in the
browser and then paste this into $html = ' PASTED TEXT ';
and then call dompdf then it WORKS!

How can that be? And how do I use $html directly in dompdf?

I stripped the $html for double spaces. Now it works.

Based on the error it looks like DOMPDF thinks the current node is an
element when it's really text. I'm not sure why double spaces would
cause this kind of problem. How are you passing $html to DOMPDF? It
looks like it's getting loaded OK since the error is coming from
cellmap.cls.php. Do you have a sample of the original value of $html
that was causing the issue?

Hey whats your code structure for tables? You should have something like:

<table>

<tr>

 <th>Heading 1</th>

 <th>Heading 2</th>

 <th>Heading 3</th>

 <th>Heading 4</th>

</tr> 

<tr>

 <td>Cell 1</td>

 <td>Cell 2</td>

 <td>Cell 3</td>

 <td>Cell 4</td>

</tr>

</table>

Hope this helps cause I had a similar case but soon resolved it after double checking the < table > elements. Cheers!
