parsley.js hidden input file not validating - html

Question

So I have a google map where the user selects their location, and I am trying to validate that they have selected a location, by populating a hidden input field. I was able to get it to work with a different validation engine, but now need it to work with parsley.
If the user has not selected a location, I need it to display the error message, as with all other validations. All my other validations are working, so I suspect it is something with my syntax. I am a bit confused by the parsley documentation as far as hidden input fields.
Here is my html:
<div class="col-md-6">
<!-- WIDGET GOOGLE MAP -->
<div class="widget">
<div class="widget-header" style="height: 115px;">
<h3><i class="fa fa-globe"></i> Part II: Click & drag to select your location <small>(Your actual location will never be stored or shared. It will always be randomized within a five (5) mile radius when shown to other users)</small></h3>
<em>- custom styled google map</em>
</div>
<div class="widget-content no-padding" style="height: 300px;" >
<div class="google-map">
<div id="register-map-canvas" style="height: 300px;"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="widget-content">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="hidden" name="homelat" id="latFld" required data-parsley-errors-container="#error-map"/> <!--the homelat input field is below the map only because it looks silly with two adjacent error messages-->
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="hidden" name="homelng" id="lngFld" />
</div>
<p id="error-map"></p>
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Register</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Validate</button>
</div>
</div>
<!-- END WIDGET GOOGLE MAP -->
</div>
So as you can see, I am trying to get the error message to pop up beneath my map within a widget box.
I populate the latFld and lngFld inputs but only validate one of them, so as to only generate one error message. But unfortunately I cannot get that one to validate. I know the fields are populating.

In the js parsley file (~line 195) you must on excluded: line put in comment or delete input[type=hidden]'
var ParsleyDefaults = {
// ### General
// Default data-namespace for DOM API
namespace: 'prsly-',
// Supported inputs by default
inputs: 'input, textarea, select',
// Excluded inputs by default
excluded: 'input[type=button], input[type=submit], input[type=reset]',
//input[type=hidden]',
