I think you're trying to use a styling tool to perform a functionality job. 
Javascript is probably a better option for this task.

That said, if you can figure out how to put a background image into the 
input field, which I believe is doable, you can use an image of the text 
you want inserted. Just make it brief enough that it'll fit in your 
smallest input field.
