How to hide text using CSS?

Question

How to make fooinvisible using CSS (CSS3, if necessary), while maintaining barand fizz?

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <textarea>bar</textarea>
      <input type='button' title='fizz' />
      foo
    </td>
  </tr>
</tbody>

Creating fooin the same color as the background is acceptable, but the trick - the background - is an image, therefore - it fooshould be transparent, not a solid color.

JavaScript is also not an option.

Modifying HTML is also not an option.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Scott is better. Use it.

I do not think that the right solution will be enough.

td {
    position: relative;
    left: 9001px;
}

textarea {
    position: relative;
    right: 9001px;
}
