onload Pseudo class?

Is there a pseudo class for "on load" that anyone knows about? I can't get anything to work and don't want to use jquery... mostly because I don't know jquery very well. I was hoping to perform a scale and rotate animation on load to my selector.

You can't do that.

CSS only understand two kind of user-triggered event: hover and click.

That's it.

onLoad() is a method provided by jquery. Listening to this event is something only jquery can do.
