get_stylesheet_uri() │ WP 1.5.0

Retrieves the URI of the current theme stylesheet file (style.css).

The stylesheet file name is always style.css, that's why this function use get_stylesheet_directory_uri() and append the name to the end: http://domain/path/style.css.

If a child theme is used, this function returns the URL to the child theme, not to a parent one.
