Your example worked fine for me.  You can also simplify the test like this:

<xsl:if test='number(@FieldA)'>


Perhaps you are not actually selecting @FieldA because the context is not
what you expect of you have a type somewhere.  Try displaying the value and
see if it is what you expect:

<xsl:value-of select='@FieldA'/>
