Remove click events and disable anchor tags in a SP2010 calendar view

I got a request from Larry Pfaff:

…Can all the links be disabled on a calendar view and allow navigation between months for sp 2010?

A bit back and forth between Larry and me produced this code:

<!-- refer jQuery -->
<script type="text/javascript">
 
$(".ms-acal-rootdiv").bind("click dblclick",function(){
            return false;
});
 
setInterval(function(){           
            $(".ms-acal-item [bricked!='1']").each(function(){    
                        $(this).attr("bricked","1").bind("click dblclick",function(){              
                                    return false;
                        });
            });
            // Single day events
            $(".ms-acal-sdiv a").each(function(){
                        var text = $(this).text();
                        $(this).before(text);
                        $(this).remove();
                       
            });
            // Events spanning multiple days
            $(".ms-acal-mdiv a").each(function(){
                        var text = $(this).text();
                        $(this).before(text);
                        $(this).remove();
                       
            });
 
},500);
</script>

Put it in a HTML Form web part – or link it from a CEWP placed below the calendar view.

This code is tested in SP 2010 only.
