How To: Tactfully deal with salary questions in TW job interviews?

["Kathleen" <keamac -at- cox -dot- net>]

(Apologies if this is considered off topic)

Does anyone have suggestions for salary negotiations? This is an area in
which I have little experience and would appreciate some tips.
Specifically, how can one tactfully respond when interviewers insist on
having salary information and/or a salary history at the opening of an
interview.
What I've tried is to give a base that I don't think is unreasonable for
my level of experience ($30) or to give a range (e.g., $30-40). In one
instance the recruiter harassed me about the amount, in the other she
insisted on a flat amount.
I don't like the idea of giving my salary history w/out having further
information about the job etc. 
TIA
