Text shows up in Inkscape, but not in Browsers

Hi, i have a beginner question:

I started to create SVGs with Inkscape some days ago, and i have a problem with texts. During the work in Inkscape everything is okay, but when I open my images in a browser (tested IE9 and Chrome) the text is missing. The rest of the image looks as it should look, its just the text.

I probably just made some stupid beginners mistake, but i have no idea which
I attached a file as an example, help would be very much appreciated.

But you can probably avoid this by converting the text to path (Path menu > Object to Path). Note that once you do that, the text will no longer be editable as text. So be sure to do this as the very last step

Okay, so I used flowtext instead of normal text. It would never have come to my mind that there's such a big difference between dragging a textbox and clicking a textbox

I converted all to normal text, that solved this issue.
Thank you very much!
