It's usually better to aim high, and they'll say what their range or budget is for the position if they want to hire you. If you're bold, don't take the offer right away. This way you can negotiate, and get the most out of how much they're looking to pay.
If you're in the early stages of you're career, then it's a different story where you'll almost take what you can get. If you have more experience and offers, then you have more power to negotiate.Like epill said, try your best not to drop the number first.
I've personally always been honest with how much I made, but I think lying works. Some people actually regret not lying because they felt they could have gotten more if they lied.
It also depends on where you're applying. Is it a small web shop trying to cut every corner, or is it a big corporation with money to spend.
