I use <base href="/"> to make my site run correctly with mod_rewrite and it works perfect on all browsers except Internet Explorer. Is not loading css styles and javascripts. How can i deal with this

This is a known bug and can be fixed with javascript: http://stackoverflow.com/a/13373180/482115 — degenerate, May 22 '15 at 16:04

I don't know if this will fix your issue, but the base tag is supposed to contain an absolute path, you are specifying a relative one.

An absolute path would be something like:

<base href="http://example.com/" />

From http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#h-12.4

As Nathan said - using an absolute path for IE is necessary (dont know why but it behaves differently than other browsers.. surprise surprise..)
