Why are the following 2 times of day not displayed the same and what can I do to make the second time look like the first?

Get rid of the newlines between span tags. Like this:

<div>
 8:00
            <span>8</span><span>:</span><span >00</span>
</div>

I'm hard pressed to find it in the spec, but it appears that virtually all browsers take all white spaces and "compress" it down to a single space.

Here's a related SO post.

The accepted answer there recommends using String.Format to handle rendering more precisely -- this may help in your particular situation.

Update:

According the HTML 4 spec:

SGML (see [ISO8879], section 7.6.1) specifies that a line break immediately following a start tag must be ignored, as must a line break immediately before an end tag. This applies to all HTML elements without exception.

There's also an interesting write up describing this as a bug here.
