does not work on IE7

Question

I am using <base href="/"> it seemed to work like magic! but when I test the website on IE7 on windows XP the website got messed up! nothing works at all enter image description here .

Is there anything I need to add to the .htaccess to fix the problem? I have also found this fix: HTML <base> TAG and local folder path with Internet Explorer but the guy who asked did not really pick it a good answer...

What do you guys suggest? <base href="/"> is placed on the head and all the links on the website looks like "<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/reset.css">" or "<a class="button" href="page.php">I am a Button</a>"

Are you putting the `` tag in the ``? Can you show a little bit of relevant code? — Michael Irigoyen, Feb 21 '14 at 14:00
why you need to put that at all in there?? It's not needed.. — Hardy, Feb 21 '14 at 14:04
Because I have many links and pages in sub directories ect, and the base link will take them all to the root first — , Feb 21 '14 at 14:05

`` is very laborious, you may prefer to use absolute path (a good practice is CDN - "subdomain"). — Protomen, Feb 21 '14 at 14:20

I have used "<base href="<?php if ($_SERVER['HTTPS']) {echo 'https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; }else{echo 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];}?>/" />" and it worked perfectly.
