How to make flex-basis work in IE11
When it comes to IE11, you could target it explicit using this CSS rule:
_:-ms-fullscreen, :root .IE11-only-class {
/* IE11 specific properties */
}
Stack snippet
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#a {
background-color: pink;
height: 300px;
width: 100px;
}
#b {
background-color: green;
height: 50px;
}
#c {
background-color: blue;
height: 100px;
}
#d {
background-color: yellow;

.flex {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.item.flex-0 {
flex: none;
}
.item.flex-1 {
flex: 1 1 0%;
}
_:-ms-fullscreen, :root .IE-FlexAuto {
flex-basis: auto;
}<div id="a" class="flex">
<div id="b" class="item flex-1 IE-FlexAuto">
Hey
</div>
<div id="c" class="item flex-0">
Ho
</div>
<div id="d" class="item flex-1 IE-FlexAuto">
Heyheyheyheyho
</div>
</div>Here is a post with an answer of mine, which talks some more about this, and also provide some script solutions which might be helpful

I had a massive headache over this, rather than do a hack, set your flex-basis to auto, then if you have a container size, set the with to the same size, ie:
@include breakpoint(m){
flex: 0 48%;
flex-basis: auto;
width: 48%;
}
