SVG curved text along a circle clip path element not displaying - html

Question

Here's a link to my codepen: https://codepen.io/Bryandbronstein/pen/QVaQpa
So basically what I have is an svg circle set as a clipPath element to cut my image into a circle. Then I want to curve my text around the circle, rather than it being in a straight line on top of my circular image, like this:
image with curved text
The thing is, I have this image to show off as my example because this code works in Firefox, but no other browser I could test. What gives?
Here's my code:
<svg height="300" width="350">
<defs>
<clipPath id="circleView">
<circle id="curve" cx="150" cy="180" r="110" fill="transparent" />
</clipPath>
</defs>
<text x="390" y="-20" width="100">
<textpath id="homepageText" xlink:href="#curve">
My Homepage!
</textpath>
</text>
<image width="300" height="410" xlink:href="meee.jpg" clip-path="url(#circleView)" />
</svg>
Just to clarify, I have moderate experience in HTML and CSS but very little in SVG. Thank you!

Answer 1

Use path insted of circle, and text-anchor + startOffset to center the text:
<svg x="0px" y="0px" width="350" height="300" viewBox="0 0 350 300">
<defs>
<path id="curve" d="M40,180c0-60.751,49.248-110,110-110c60.751,0,110,49.249,110,110"/>
</defs>
<text fill="black" class="curved-text">
<textPath xlink:href="#curve" text-anchor="middle" startOffset="50%">My homepage!</textPath>
</text>
</svg>

Using svg path tag we can achieve curved text. Below is the modification to your code. Corrected x and y for text tag and have added path with id "forText.
<svg height="300" width="350">
<defs>
<clipPath id="circleView">
<circle id="curve" cx="150" cy="180" r="110" fill="transparent" />
</clipPath>
</defs>
<path id="forText" d="M32,110, C25,90, 180,-39,290,130" stroke="" fill="none"/>
<text x="0" y="35" width="100">
<textpath xlink:href="#forText">
My Homepage!
</textpath>
</text>
<image width="300" height="410" xlink:href="meee.jpg" clip-path="url(#circleView)" />
</svg>
