If the employer gives you a salary range of a job during the interview, what are the odds that they will you give a higher salary outside the range if they really like you and feel you are the right candidate?

Seriously, each and every company is different and there isn't an one-size fits all. Also how exactly do you define outside? $2500 more? $10000 more? If you choose to negotiate back up everything with examples of experience and education.
If a company is willing to pay more than the stated range, then there's no point in them giving a range at all, is there?
Seriously, even if you are a stellar candidate, it isn't likely that they are going to offer you the top end of the range as an initial offer, let alone more than their stated range. You MIGHT be able to negotiate up to the top of the range, after an initial low-to-mid offer. Might.

If you can't get them to budge on salary, you can always hit them for better benefits. If you have 10 years of work experience, why should you settle for two weeks of vacation like a "newby" right out of college. Ask for four week like the rest of their existing employees have accumlated.
Benefits are charged against the entire company and the department that is hiring you does not take the hit in their budget.
