Requesting Salary Info

I don't have a lot of experience with the interview process and have a question about requesting salary info from a candidate.
If we have scheduled an interview with someone and we know that the candidate has received an offer from another company is it okay to ask what they were offered for salary?
We don't have a written application. Resumes are submitted online via our public website and desired salary range is requested. During the negoiation process if we make an offer and they come back asking for more then we do ask the candidate to show earnings.
I'm just not sure if it's appropriate to ask during an interview what offers they may be considering from other companies.
