Theo's (excellent) answer is sufficient; however, let me also add the following exercises which I think are useful if you wish to develop a deeper understanding of the ring $A$:
Definition
A ring $R$ is said to be a local ring if it has a unique maximal ideal $m$. In other words, the ring $R$ is local if every proper ideal of $R$ is contained in $m$.
Exercise 1: If $R$ is local with unique maximal ideal $m$, prove that every element of $R$ not in $m$ is a unit in $R$.
Exercise 2: Prove that if the set of non-units in a commutative ring $A$ is an ideal in $A$, then $A$ is a local ring.
Exercise 3: Prove that the ring $A$ of your question is a local ring. Moreover, prove that the unique maximal ideal of $A$ is a principal ideal. (Hint: the set of all elements of $A$ with constant term $0$ is an ideal; prove that it is the unique maximal ideal of $A$. Theo's answer and exercise 2 are relevant.)
Exercise 4: Prove that every proper non-zero ideal of $A$ (of your question) is a power of $m$, the unique maximal ideal of $A$. (Recall that if $I$ is an ideal in a ring $A$, the power $I^n$ ($n\geq 1$) is defined to be the ideal generated by the set of all products consisting of $n$ terms where each term is an element of $I$.) In particular, we say that $A$ is a discrete valuation ring (DVR is a common abbreviation).
Exercise 5: Let $A$ be an arbitrary local ring with unique maximal ideal $m$. Is it true that every proper non-zero ideal of $A$ is a power of $m$? If $A$ is a Noetherian ring, is it true that the intersection of all powers of $m$ is the zero ideal? (This question is difficult.)
Exercise 6: Let $x\in \mathbb{R}$ and consider the set of all ordered pairs $(f,U)$ where $U$ is open and $f:U\to \mathbb{R}$ is continuous. We define an equivalence relation on this set by setting $(f,U)\equiv (g,V)$ if $f|W=g|W$ for some open subset $W\subseteq U\cap V$. Let us define a ring structure on the set of all equivalence classes $A$ by the rules: $(f,U)+(g,V)=(f+g,U\cap V)$ and $(f,U)\times (g,V)=(f\times g,U\cap V)$. Prove that these operations are well-defined and prove that the ring $A$ in question is a local ring. (Hint: The set of all equivalence classes corresponding to representatives of the form $(f,U)$ such that $f(x)=0$ is the unique maximal ideal of $A$.)
Exercise 7: Is the result of the above exercise true if the word "continuous" is deleted throughout? Is the result of the above exercise true if the words "continuous" and "open" are deleted throughout? Is the result of the above exercise true if the word "continuous" is replaced by either "differentiable", "smooth" or "analytic"?
Exercise 8: Is every proper non-zero ideal in the ring of exercise 5 a power of the unique maximal ideal of this ring?
I hope these exercises are useful! (They are all important since they provide good practice with the notion of a local ring; local rings are ubiquituous in commutative algebra.)
